Mixed Media Paintings 2011-2013

Current works from a series in progress. Medium: oil, collage.

The narrative of this series is autobiographical—a search for an island of tranquility within a chaotic mind, in this case by way of travel and landscape, and inspired by a visit to Japan. The use of mixed media is both a metaphor and an aesthetic decision. It invites the viewer to view the work closely and look for what is just beneath the surface.
